The Omega AT has George Daniels legendary Co-Axial Escapement. Whilst the Milgauss uses a traditional anti-magnetic faraday cage, the Omega AT removes all ferrous material from their movement, so that it is totally AMagnetic - 15 x more resistive than the Milgauss; yet no faraday cage needed. It even has an exhibition back. Now that is progress.

The whole Aquaterra line is gorgeous and the 15.000 Gauss isn't an exception. I think that the Aquaterra and the Railmaster from Omega are the perfect every day watches, perfect for all the situations.

I love the Aqua Terra, and loved this breakdown of the line. The new 41mm Master Chronometer Watches are some of my favourite watches. I was a little disappointed to hear you complain about the lack of a slimmer 36-39mm version, because that exact watch already exists. A 38mm (38.5 on older models) has been a part of the line up since its inception, and the new ones use the thinner 8800 caliber, so they’re over 1mm thinner. I’ve noticed a lot of watch reviewers seem to have forgotten the 38mm range exists, which is a shame, because I’ve noticed many people complaining the 41mm is too big and thick, and the 38mm fixes that, but no one seems to want to tell them. It’s also a bit weird, because it takes all of 10 seconds on Omega’s website to find them.

Saji Abraham Its true. The 41mm uses the 8900 (60h PR, quick-change hour hand). The 38mm uses the 8800 (55h PR, quickset date), which is the same movement found in the new Seamaster 300m Diver. Both movements are METAS certified, but the 8800 is about 1mm thinner, which gets carried over into the overall thickness of the watch.

Mark Playford an excellent choice in either option. Apparently the bracelet and rubber strap cost the same to buy separate (the metal sections are extra for the strap), so you’re better off buy the rubber version for $200 less, then buying the bracelet later, rather than the other way around. I’m not sure if this is still the case though, so you might want to double check my facts first.

Mark Playford I know! It’s weird, but it’s apparently because the metal links are sold separately, and they bring the total cost to equal a bracelet. The good (?) news is if you need to replace the rubber strap in the future, or experiment with different colours, it’s much cheaper once you already have the metal links. Why it’s not still cheaper with the links included is a mystery know only to Omega’s pricing department.

You should know it comes in 38.5mm. The blue dial worn by James Bond in Skyfall was that size actually. One could argue that 40mm would have been perfect, another case of Omega offering too many options and missing on making the Aqua Terra as desirable and unique as the Explorer for example. I’m sure Tudor will inevitably lessen the appeal of its BB58 by adding color options. Make one model, make it perfect. That’s the Rolex way.

Nice analysis. I liked that you mentioned the dial was almost too perfect, because there are details on it that are easy to miss when looking at photographs of them. In person, the depth of the dial can seem to change depending on the color of the dial. I agree that the cases are too big- I really want to buy a METAS certified movement, but there are maybe 3-4 watches in the Omega catalog that fit my wrist. I went to try on the AquaTerra 38, and it looked great, but the case wears much larger than a typical 38mm watch. Also, the indices practically blinded me with all the glare they reflect, making the watch painfully unreadable.

I tried on the white dial AT with orange accents on a whim at the weekend. Looked great on the rubber strap. I’m not convinced by the non adjustable bracelet so much. A finger print and scratch magnet combo. Now go to the Omega website and play with strap options. That white dial is so versatile. So much so I can feel the plastic coming out. So done with Rolex bull, I’m returning to the Omega herd, the welcoming herd I departed 20 years ago with a blue dial Seamaster. The Rolex mothership is blowing smoke from the rear, it’s fatally flawed, it has plateaued and will be on a downward trajectory. The peasants are gathering with torches to storm the castle…

The 38mm, while still being thicker than a Datejust, is 1mm thinner than the 41mm because the 8800 is thinner than the 8900. While this is better, they’re still both thicker than would be preferred. If thickness is everything, the Railmaster is another half mm thinner again, as it has a solid caseback.

​@@gpearce11 38mm is almost 13mm thick. Its proportions look even worse than 41mm. Datejust is 11,5mm thick for both sizes, as far as I remember. But has advantage of very slim case design (AT is flat on left side), and just sits way better on your hand. I used to have Datejust 36, and it was pure joy to wear. I tried to buy this watch so many times, I love the way it looks, love technology behind it, but always ended up walking away dissapointed after trying one at AD. Case thicknes is Omegas major problem in my eyes. Not only AT, but all of their modern sports watches are only getting fatter. It looks really bad especially on smaller watches, like 38mm AT or Railmaster.

mwojciak I’m of the same mind as you, looks great with great colors and shapes and lines, plus modern movement tech, BUT barely fits on my wrist, and wears 2-3mm larger than the actual case dimensions. This thing can take over your wrist instead of balancing on it, and sometimes I think it has a disease that afflicts the entire Omega catalog- other times I just accept that Omega designs watches that demand attention, often impractically. Also, I could barely read the time because of all the glare from the indices.

You know, I wear relatively big watches. My top3 is Zenith Defy El Primero 21 (44mm), VC Overseas 3gen (41mm) and Omega Seamaster 300 current gen (42mm). And all of them wears much better on the wrist than 41mm Aqua Terra... So, SMP show that Omega is capable of incorporating watch thickness into smart case design. Same story with Moonwatch. It is thick, I always have been thick. But case design is much better, and you don't mind thickness when it sits on your wrist. Aqua Terra is somehow flawed, and that's a shame. It realy could be Datejust killer :(

Yes! It should be "OMEGA AQUA-TERRA" with "Seamaster" below the cannon stack. The original caliber 2500 AT's had a double, or split wide hour marker for the 12 o'clock position, I don't see why they didn't carry that over, you should have mentioned it. I'm not happy about the name "Railmaster" for a wristwatch, it belongs only for a pocket watch, and they should have revived their name "Ranchero" or something for that line.

The current model (date window at 6:00) is a perfect 38mm. The only downside is the caliber 8800 movement in those pieces lack the time zone jumping feature of the caliber 8900 models (41mm).

Probably but the horizontal lines of actual models do not catch the light as the 1st blue model. And it remind a bit the patek. While The vertical lines of the skyfall makes it immediatly recognizable and unique.

AT Should be stand alone from the Seamaster...look at the World Time and what value for money that is. As you quite correctly say the eye is drawn to imperfection, it's like a small sharp stone in a shoe but the dial on the AT is just about right as can be, focussed, uncluttered and great use of the space! A working piece of art in so many variations that appeal to all....oh and no fecking queue!

Vaughan Atkinson I personally disagree. When we look at the original Seamaster from 1948, it wasn’t a dive watch. Rather is was designed to be a classy waterproof watch that could be worn to the office and to the beach on the weekend. The Aqua Terra lives up to this legacy perfectly in my opinion, bridging the gap between weekday work watch, and weekend play watch, thanks to its 150m WR and bracelet and rubber strap options, as well as it’s simple, but sporty, dial design.

Vaughan Atkinson I suppose you’re right that that sports is definitely what Seamaster is primarily about now, but bridging the gap between the two was originally what it was all about (see the new recreations of the original 1948 Seamaster), so both arguments are valid I feel. It’s an interesting conundrum. Do you pay homage to the models roots, and keep it as a Seamaster, or do you acknowledge the shift in the model line over the years. I personally have more of a problem with them shoehorning the Railmaster into the Seamaster family, because they originally had nothing to do with each other.
